‘Market continues to bring clients who are happy to spend’ says Simon Turner of C&NI

SuperyachtNews.com catches up with Simon Turner of Camper & Nicholsons International for his feedback on the market.…

With spenders returning to the industry and the re-sale market gaining strength everyday, many brokers are beginning to notice a lack of appropriate yachts for buyers. “The biggest challenge for us all is the lack of quality stock in some sectors, particularly 40-55m steel motoryachts, where a lot of good stock has been sold” explains Simon Turner from the London office of Camper & Nicholsons International. “Many of the remaining yachts in this sector remain over priced and still need to drop in order to entice buyers to make a move” he continues. While there could be worse issues than buyers finding a lack of stock, Turner believes the market overall is improving year on year. “Where the yachts of very good quality are maintained to a high standard, we are seeing transaction and list prices start to converge rather than diverge, as multiple buyers vie for the same yacht” he concludes.

The week running 10 - 16 March saw zero sales completed in the 30m+ bracket, nine new central agencies announced, and 15 price reductions made.

New Central Agencies


Central agencies remained on par with last week as nine new listings were announced.

It’s a draw for the largest new listing this week: Josh Gulbranson of Fraser Yachts has listed 2012 Delta built 50m Arianna for sale at $32,500,0000; and YachtZoo have placed 2007 Heesen built 50m Galactica for sale at €24,500,000.
